Sick, twisted...
...son of a bitch.
OK - the article is old, from last week. But I just found it and it pisses me off so badly I have to put it out here.
Y'all have heard of Good Ole Rev. Phelps, right? He and his followers picket military funerals and such. You know who I mean, I know you do.
They picket the funeral services of our heros "saying that American servicemen and women are dying overseas because God is displeased that the United States tolerates homosexuals."
Well guess where they wanted to show up last week. Go ahead. Guess.
Those stupid, worthless bastards planned on attending and protesting at the funeral services for the five Amish girls that were killed.
Can you flippin' believe that?!?!?
Their reasoning is that since the Governor of PA, Gov. Rendell, said saomething against their (Phelp's group) church THAT IS WHY THOSE CHILDREN WERE MURDERED. IT WAS GOD'S PUNISHMENT.
I cannot tell you the severity of my reaction to this pile of horse shit. I don't know if they ended up attending - if you know please let me know via email or comments. And it's probably a good thing I didn't see this last week, cause I sure as hell wouldn't have been able to focus on my work. But Damn. I'm tellin' you I hated these folks for what they were doing. But now? Words escape me.
Bastards.
ADDED: Thanks to Leslie for sending me this link. Approx. half of the mourners at Charles Roberts funeral were Amish. Total forgiveness. Their faith is amazing.

Mike Gallagher (right wing radio talk show host, #6 in the nation) was so offended by it that he told them he would give them an hour of radio time on his show if they promised to not show up at the funerals. also, they were going to have to sign a contract that if they showed up anyway, they had to pay $650,000, which is the value of the airtime. pay to whom, i'm not sure.

Posted by: Richmond at October 9, 2006 01:26 PMThanks guys. I'm just glad to know they didn't show......
Oh, and just so you know - I'm still calm.
Calmly pissed off.
Yeah, still calm....
;-)
Posted by: Tammi at October 9, 2006 02:20 PMI can never understand why people cannot see the vast evil that they have become... and to think they do this in the name of God. It is scary.
Those funerals have been breaking me heart...
Posted by: Bou at October 9, 2006 09:22 PMWell, the Amish are showing the truest form of Christianity. That Phelps group would do well to take notes.
Posted by: Mrs_Who at October 9, 2006 09:37 PMIf any of those cocksucking bastards show up at the funeral of one of my loved ones they'll have all the publicity they could ever want.
They won't be alive to enjoy it, however.
